Speculations about the next leadership election started following the 2019 European election when Miroslav Kalousek criticised incumbent leader Jiří Pospíšil and stated that he hoped he would have a rival at the next election despite refusing to run himself. Deputy leader of the party and Senator Tomáš Czernin announced his candidacy on 21 June 2019. He criticised Pospíšil for his candidacy to European Parliament and noted that he wouldn’t have time to properly run the party. Czernin was endorsed by Kalousek who noted that Czernin "will be a successful leader." Pospíšil hadn’t confirmed his candidacy until that moment. Karel Schwarzenberg also endorsed him.

2019 TOP 09 leadership election, Background
Both candidates campaigned by visiting regional organisations and trying to convince members to support them. The Prague organisation endorsed Pekarová on 5 November 2019. She was also endorsed by the Liberec, South Bohemian and Plzeň regions. Czernin was, on the orher hand, endorsed by the Central Bohemian region and by the Hradec Králové region.


2019 TOP 09 leadership election, Background
Czernin stated that he planned to return the party to its conservative roots and to focus on the problems of the countryside such as depopulation and the decline of local services and infrastructure. Pekarová Adamová, on the other hand, presented herself and her TOP 09 as neither fully conservative nor fully liberal but combining both approaches. She also stressed TOP 09 should be put more focus on the regions and expressed the intent to visit a different region every week. However, she was still perceived as the candidate of the urban-based liberal wing. Both stressed the protection of nature as a conservative principle.

2019 Tacoma attack
On July 13, 2019, Willem van Spronsen firebombed a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Tacoma, Washington. He was shot dead by police who say he was attempting to ignite a propane tank.


2019 Tacoma attack, Incident
The incident took place at 4:00 a.m. at the Northwest Detention Center, a privately owned detention center for undocumented immigrants. Four officers arrived at the scene and called out to van Spronsen, who they claimed was wearing a satchel and carrying flares, before reporting "shots fired". According to the statement by the Tacoma Police Department, Van Spronsen, who was reported to have been carrying a rifle, "attempted to ignite a large propane tank and set our buildings on fire" and "continued throwing lit objects and firebombs at the buildings and cars". Officers promptly shot him dead.


2019 Tacoma attack, Incident
Friends of van Spronsen reportedly received farewell letters from him before the incident.


2019 Tacoma attack, Perpetrator
Willem van Spronsen (1950–2019) was a carpenter and a resident of Vashon, Washington, who had been arrested previously during a demonstration at the same ICE detention center in June 2018. In the earlier incident, he had a physical altercation with a police officer during an effort to free a protester who was detained. Police alleged that van Spronsen was armed with a baton and a folding knife. According to The Washington Post, van Spronsen was an anarchist who claimed to be associated with antifascists known as antifa. In a letter written before the attack, he wrote "I am antifa." Van Spronsen's daughter, who describes herself as an advocate of liberal pacifism, said her father was a supporter of anarchism but had written that she disagreed with him "on some principles, such as the use of force and weapons in the fight".


2019 Tacoma attack, Perpetrator
Van Spronsen had been active in social media under the pseudonym "Emma Durutti", a portmanteau of the names of historic anarchists Emma Goldman and Buenaventura Durruti. Van Spronsen was also a member of the Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club and active in the Occupy Wall Street protests. Van Spronsen had formerly been involved with Alcoholics Anonymous.


2019 Tacoma attack, Perpetrator
Van Spronsen had written a manifesto detailing what he viewed as a political justification for attacking the ICE facility. In this document, van Spronsen said that "it's time to take action against the forces of evil", citing "highly profitable detention/concentration camps and a battle over the semantics".


2019 Tacoma attack, Terrorism classification
The GEO Group, which runs the facility, called the attack an act of terrorism in a public statement they released saying "This video footage shows the seriousness of the threat to our employees and immigrants housed at the Tacoma Processing Center. We commend the Tacoma Police Department for its heroic actions in responding to this horrific act of terrorism."


2019 Tacoma attack, Terrorism classification
Seth Jones, a terrorism analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said of the attack and of Van Spronsen's beliefs "The problem is not that people have views that are against fascism, against white supremacy, against racism. That's certainly defensible, and in fact it's a good thing. The problem is when you start getting into violence. That's where you start to cross a line in the U.S., and that's where it starts to get into the terrorism arena."


2019 Tacoma attack, Terrorism classification
In June 2020, the think tank Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) assembled a database of 893 terrorism incidents in the U.S., beginning in 1994. Though the database did not link any murders to Antifa, it highlighted von Spronsen's death as the only death resulting from an anti-fascist attack, according to an analysis by The Guardian.

2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike
On 2 July 2019 at 23:30, during the 2019–20 Western Libya campaign, an airstrike hit the Tajoura Detention Center outside Tripoli, Libya, while hundreds of people were inside the facility. The detention center was being used as a holding facility for migrants and refugees trying to reach Europe when a storage hangar that it used as a residential facility was destroyed in an aerial bombing. The United Nations Human Rights Council stated that "It was known that there were 600 people living inside" the facility.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike
At least 53 people were killed and 130 were wounded. The LNA, which reportedly committed the strike targeting unarmed civilians, was condemned by several countries. The airstrike also raised scrutiny of the European Union's policy of cooperating with militias to detain migrants, and funding and training the Libyan Coast Guard which apprehended most of the migrants and refugees.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike
The Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA) initially claimed that the airstrike was conducted by the Libyan National Army (LNA) led by Khalifa Haftar but later attributed the attack to a United Arab Emirates (UAE) aircraft. In November 2019, United Nations investigators suspected that a non-Libyan Mirage 2000-9 jet had bombed the center.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike
A January 2020 report by the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) stated that the strike was likely to have been carried out with a guided bomb fired from a non-Libyan aircraft, again suggesting that a foreign Mirage 2000-9 had been used.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Background
The Tajoura Detention Center is located 16 kilometres (10 mi) east of the Libyan capital of Tripoli. It is part of a network of 34 migrant detention centers across northwestern Libya which house at least 5,000 people. The centers are operated by the Government of National Accord (GNA) and are used to detain migrants attempting to reach Europe.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Background
In April 2019, the Libyan National Army, under Haftar's command, began a major offensive to capture western Libya and the capital Tripoli. After an airstrike hit a target less than 100 metres (330 ft) from the detention center in May, the UN Refugee Agency called for the evacuation of refugees and migrants in detention centers in conflict areas of Tripoli. On 1 July 2019, the LNA said it had begun an air campaign. The LNA's spokesman said that the air campaign destroyed the main control room for drones at Mitiga International Airport, which led to the airport—Tripoli's only functioning airport—suspending civilian flights.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Airstrike
Near midnight on 2 July an airstrike directly struck Tajoura Detention Center's residential hangar as migrant families were sleeping or listening to the conflict outside. A Doctors Without Borders medical coordinator counted 126 migrants living inside of the center's hangar unit shortly before it was hit by the strike. Aerial photos from the scene show that the explosion caved in the roof and blew out the walls of the section of the hangar where it struck. Reports were made to the UN that guards shot at refugees and migrants trying to flee from the air strike.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Airstrike
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said there were two air strikes, one hitting an unoccupied garage and one hitting a hangar containing around 120 refugees and migrants. OCHA also agreed with reports that escaping refugees and migrants were fired upon by guards. The Tripoli-based interior ministry denied firing at fleeing refugees and migrants categorically. A media advisor to the Tripoli-based Ministry of Health said in the aftermath that "there was blood and body parts all over the place" and the Tripoli-based government described it as a "massacre". Hospitals worked at above-average capacities as they attempted to treat a flood of injured patients from the attack. According to the United Nations, at least 53 people were killed in the airstrike and 130 were injured.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Airstrike
Haftar's forces, who are backed by Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Russia, have said they were targeting a nearby military site. According to Amnesty International, there was a weapons storage warehouse in the same compound as the detention center; GNA Interior Minister Fathi Bashagha denied that weapons were stored at the compound.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Legal actions, Calls for investigations
Foreign nations and international bodies like the UN and African Union collectively called for an investigation, condemning the airstrike and lamenting the loss of life. A spokesman for the United Nations Refugee Agency stated that the detention center's close proximity to a weapons warehouse made it a target by association. Michelle Bachelet, the UN's Human Rights Chief, said the airstrike might constitute a "war crime." In an official statement, Secretary-General António Guterres demanded a probe into "how this happened and who was responsible and to bring those individuals to account." The Middle East and North African director for Amnesty International, too, demanded that the International Criminal Court investigate the bombing as a war crime, highlighting the disaster as a "consequences of Libya and Europe's callous migration policies".


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Legal actions, UNSMIL/OHCHR Jan 2020 report
In January 2020, UNSMIL and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) published a report on the pair of airstrikes.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Legal actions, UNSMIL/OHCHR Jan 2020 report
During 3–6 July 2019, United Nations personnel visited the Daman building complex, which includes both the Daman brigade, a pro-GNA militia, and the Tajoura Detention Center, holding 616 migrants and refugees at the time of the hit, of which 126 were in the part of the hangar that was hit by one of the airstrikes. The investigators carried out interviews, documented the site for analysis of the munitions used and obtained video recording from surveillance cameras. On 3 November survivors of the attack, relocated to a new building, were again interviewed by UNSMIL.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Legal actions, UNSMIL/OHCHR Jan 2020 report
The investigators found that the first bomb hit a workshop used by the Daman Brigade, and the second hit the detention center. Both were followed by the sound of a fighter jet and a drone was heard after the second attack. Detention centre officials claimed that all the deaths were the result of the airstrikes; migrant and refugee interviewees said that three deaths were from gunfire.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Legal actions, UNSMIL/OHCHR Jan 2020 report
The bomb that hit the hangar with the migrants and refugees hit at 23:39, making a crater on the ground about 4.2 metres (14 ft) in diameter and 2.7 metres (8.9 ft) deep. Both bombs appear to have been guided bombs, which, according to UNSMIL/OHCHR, neither the Libyan Army (GNA), the LNA nor other Libyan armed groups had available.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Legal actions, UNSMIL/OHCHR Jan 2020 report
Interviewees stated that between the first and second strikes, the head of the detention centre shot dead three men who were trying to escape from the hangar. The head of the detention center denied the claim.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Legal actions, UNSMIL/OHCHR Jan 2020 report
On 3 July, the LNA claimed to have carried out the first bombing but not the second. UNSMIL/OHCHR judged the airstrikes to probably have been carried out by a state other than Libya, either under LNA command or under the command of the foreign state aiming to support the LNA.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Legal actions, UNSMIL/OHCHR Jan 2020 report
UNSMIL/OHCHR cited page 126 of report S/2019/914 of the UN Panel of Experts on Libya, where the Panel argued that LNA military assets were incompatible with the precision guided missiles that appeared to have been used, and stated that Mirage 2000-9 fighters were present at the time at al-Khadim and Jufra air bases and could not have been maintained and supported by the LNA.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Legal actions, UNSMIL/OHCHR Jan 2020 report
UNSMIL/OHCHR stated concerns that the airstrike that hit the detention center may have been illegal under international humanitarian law. They also stated that the Daman Brigade's responsibility in the close colocation a military target and the detention center, and detention center guards' failure to help the detainees flee to safety following the first strike, could constitute violations of international humanitarian law.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Legal actions, UNSMIL/OHCHR Jan 2020 report
UNSMIL/OHCHR summarised their report by making recommendations to the GNA, the LNA, third parties supporting the two, and to the international community, for implementing international humanitarian law.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Reactions, Libya
The Government of National Accord (GNA) blamed the attack on air forces associated with General Haftar of the Libyan National Army (LNA). Haftar had been waging an offensive against the UN-backed GNA in Tripoli since April, and the airstrike had occurred two days after the general threatened bombings in the area after announcing "traditional means" of war were insufficient. Although the LNA had announced plans for airstrikes in response to losing control of Gharyan, a spokesman for Haftar told The Independent that the allegations that the LNA was behind the bombing were "incorrect" because "the LNA has no air operations."


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Reactions, Libya
GNA Interior Minister Fathi Bashagha announced on 4 July that the government was considering closing detention centers and releasing all migrants as the government cannot ensure their protection. The next day, Bashagha accused the United Arab Emirates of bombing the migrant center with a US-made F-16 jet. When asked if the GNA had any proof that an Emirati jet conducted the attack, the Minister said: "The sound of the jet was identified by technicians and pilots who heard it. The destructive power [of the bombs] is very big and is similar to the destructive power [of the bombs dropped] in 2014."


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Reactions, International
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Organization for Migration made a joint statement: "Our two organizations strongly condemn this and any attack on civilian life. We also call for an immediate end to detention of migrants and refugees." The UN Security Council considered a resolution drafted by the United Kingdom which would have condemned the attack and called for a ceasefire, which didn't pass after not being endorsed by the United States.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Reactions, International
The African Union issued a statement via Commission Chair Moussa Faki reiterating its call for an immediate ceasefire and demanding that "an independent investigation be conducted to ensure that those responsible for this horrific crime [against] innocent civilians be brought to account." Faki also emphasized the need for humanitarian relief from the international community to protect migrant populations.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Reactions, International
Foreign affairs ministries for regional neighbors of Libya and the United Arab Emirates similarly called for changes to international migrant-holding policies and condemned the strike as a war crime. The Minister for Foreign Affairs for Malta Carmelo Abdella emphasized that migrants and refugees in dangerous situations should be "swiftly transferred to safe places under the supervision and protections of the United Nation," and on 7 July Malta's government allowed 65 migrants rescued while sailing from Libya to Europe to stay in Malta to await relocation to the European Union.


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Reactions, International
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Qatar, a regional neighbor to the accused United Arab Emirates, called for an "urgent international investigation" into the airstrike. Algeria's government similarly condemned the airstrike for the wanton deaths of civilians, and insisted on the "immediate return to the process of inclusive dialogue between all Libyan parties."


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Reactions, International
Representatives of nations outside of regions affected by the European migrant crisis stated their outrage while demanding investigations and policy changes. The U.S. State Department made an official statement for conflicting Libyan parties to "de-escalate fighting in Tripoli and return to the political process," and Turkey's Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the attack a "crime against humanity" and blamed Haftar's forces for the airstrike. The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs similarly issued a similar statement emphasizing the need for a "comprehensive and credible investigation of this crime" and called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in order to prevent new casualties."


2019 Tajoura migrant center airstrike, Aftermath
In the week following the airstrike, the remaining detainees at the facility were either released or transferred to other detention centers. A migrant processing facility run by the UN Refugee Agency which seeks to evacuate refugees and asylum seekers received over 400 migrants from the Tajoura migrant center. However, days later, the Tajoura migrant center began receiving new detainees. By July 16, the migrant center housed around 200 migrants – including refugees recently intercepted by the Libyan coast guard, people transferred from other migrant facilities in Libya, and re-captured detainees who had escaped the facility during the airstrike.
